"Named in honor of the Grievous Angel, Mr. Gram Parsons, The Parsonage is a group of around 50 Glasgow-based singers which was formed at the beginning of 2006 by musician Janis F. Murray. She set out to fill a void within the local music community, gathering a host of like-minded musical speculators, including artists, teachers, musicians, scientists, hairdressers and writers, all of whom felt compelled to sing. They are a non-religious, mixed sex, varied of age, determinedly independent and self defining organic group. Inspiration comes from the raw, storytelling simplicity of the folk, country and blues traditions, reinterpreted for a 21st century audience. Having sung with Rod Stewart and Echo and The Bunnymen (seriously...), they should be off to a good start with this EP, featuring covers of Joy Division, Jefferson Airplane and The Go-Go's."
